Casanova
Esmée Denters Ft. Justin Timberlake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He said he's busy and he'd call me but he never called me back (no)
And now I feel like somethings going on
But I feel crazy every time I bring it up so I don't
He told me there's no one above me
And all my friends are telling me different and something seems funny
tell me do you know what's the point of being in love, love, love
I'm tryna tell you little sister
He's running around on ya
Like some Casanova lover
At the expense of your heart
You need to listen to your big brother
I'm just tryna look out for ya
You need to find another
Coz he's playing a part
Why didn't I see it from the start
How was I to know
It would bruise my heart
So fast it had me blind-sighted I couldn't see
Like a wave you took me under now it's so hard to breath
[Esmee Denters] (Justin Timberlake)
And I guess I'm just too young to play with love (hey)
Guess I'm just too young to play with love (sometimes it has to be this way)
I guess I'm just too good to play with love (hey)
I guess I'm just too young to play with love (sometimes you never know hey)
Verse 2:
I shoulda never given into his games
Shoulda only been the type that treat me the same
And it ain't fair coz I gave him all I had now there's nothing left
(these tears wil dry and you'll move on, on and on and on)
This songs the same thing
Can't keep fallin'
No more heartbreak
tell me do you know what's the point of being in love, love, love
Coz I still hear everybody's voice like
I'm tryna tell you little sister
He's running around on you
Like some Casanova lover
At the expense of your heart
You need to listen to your big brother
I'm just tryna look out for ya
You need to find another
Coz he's playing a part
Why didn't I see it from the start
How was I to know
It would bruise my heart
So fast it had me blind-sighted I couldn't see
Like a wave you took me under now it's so hard to breath
[Esmee Denters] (Justin Timberlake)
I guess I'm just too young to play with love (hey)
Guess I'm just too young to play with love (sometimes it has to be this way)
I guess I'm just too good to play with love (hey)
I guess I'm just too young to play with love (sometimes you never know, hey)
I guess I'm just too young to play with love (hey)
Guess I'm just too young to play with love (sometimes it has to be this way)
I guess I'm just too good to play with love (hey)
I guess I'm just too young to play with love (sometimes you never know, hey)
and so I cry cry cry
Ask myself why why why
And that I cry cry cry
So why should I try try try
and so I cry cry cry (hey)
Ask myself why why why (sometimes it has to be this way)
And that I cry cry cry (hey)
So why should I try try try

The lyrics of Esmee Denters Ft. Justin Timberlake's song Casanova talk about a relationship that has gone sour. The singer is feeling uneasy since the last time they spoke as the person promised to call back but never did. Even though they are being reassured that there is no one above them, they feel like something is not right. They are being cautioned by their friends, but they themselves are uncertain. They question the point of being in love as they hear voices in their head trying to warn them.
In the chorus, Denters is asking for advice from her big brother who warns her that the guy she's with is running around like a Casanova lover and she needs to listen to him and find someone else. She realizes that she should have never given in to his games and only been with someone who treated her the same. The song ends on a melancholic note as Denters asks why she should keep trying when all she does is cry.
The underlying message of the song is about being careful in love and not falling prey to someone who doesn't take it seriously. It urges the younger generation to listen to their instincts and trust the people around them.
Line by Line Meaning
It's 11 o'clock and the last time that we talked
It's late at night and the last time we spoke was a while ago
He said he's busy and he'd call me but he never called me back (no)
He promised to call back but didn't, making me feel neglected
And now I feel like somethings going on
I have a gut feeling that something is amiss
But I feel crazy every time I bring it up so I don't
I don't want to be seen as paranoid, so I avoid discussing my doubts
He told me there's no one above me
He said there is no one better than me
And all my friends are telling me different and something seems funny
My friends disagree and I feel suspicious
tell me do you know what's the point of being in love, love, love
Do you know the true purpose of love?
I can still hear voices in my head like
I am haunted by thoughts and doubts
I'm tryna tell you little sister
I am attempting to warn you, younger sister
He's running around on ya
He is cheating on you
Like some Casanova lover
He is a smooth-talking womanizer
At the expense of your heart
He is hurting you emotionally
You need to listen to your big brother
You should trust me, your older brother
I'm just tryna look out for ya
I am simply trying to protect you
You need to find another
You should find someone else
Coz he's playing a part
He is pretending to be someone he is not
Why didn't I see it from the start
Why did I not realize this earlier?
How was I to know
I had no way of knowing
It would bruise my heart
It would cause me emotional pain
So fast it had me blind-sighted I couldn't see
It happened too quickly, and I was caught off guard
Like a wave you took me under now it's so hard to breath
It overwhelmed me, and now it's hard to move on
I guess I'm just too young to play with love (hey)
I realize that I am too young to handle the complexities of love
Guess I'm just too young to play with love (sometimes it has to be this way)
Maybe it's better for me to take a break from love for a while
I guess I'm just too good to play with love (hey)
I deserve better than to be played with
I shoulda never given into his games
I should have never allowed myself to be drawn into his manipulative tactics
Shoulda only been the type that treat me the same
I should have only pursued someone who treated me with respect and honesty
And it ain't fair coz I gave him all I had now there's nothing left
It's not fair that I gave everything to him and now I am empty
Can't keep fallin'
I cannot keep making the same mistakes
No more heartbreak
I need to protect my heart from any more pain
and so I cry cry cry
I am crying and feeling emotional
Ask myself why why why
I am questioning why this happened to me
So why should I try try try
Why should I bother trying anymore?

It's such a shame that she's only known now because of the voice. Thumps up to those who knew her and her music before the voice 👌🏽

She wasn't discovered by the voice. She was discovered on YouTube by Justin Timberlake.
